One way to defeat difficult enemies is to use their own strengths against them. In keeping with this, two AAFC scientists are working on a way to use a wireworm’s own cellular defences against its genes. The Lethbridge-based researchers are combining their expertise in molecular biology and entomology to investigate RNA interference for managing wireworms in Prairie wheat crops.

New research from the University of Saskatchewan offers insight into four-way interactions between plant density, row spacing, nitrogen rate and fungicide applications to help producers calculate optimal practices. A large body of flax research looks at the first three factors in differing combinations; this study was the first in Canada to add fungicide application as a fourth factor.

Continuous corn has been possible the past couple decades thanks to Bt corn hybrids. But, as in many situations where there are limited options for control, the repeated use of Bt corn has allowed resistance to develop in corn rootworm populations.
Corn is used by many livestock farmers as feed due to its abundance and nutritional content. So, what can we do? In this episode of Inputs, Tracey Baute, OMAFRA field crop entomologist, discusses how Bt corn hybrids have worked to manage corn rootworm so far, how resistance has developed and what it means for corn growers going forward.
